forecast for the weekend is rain and clouds.

But When we get a nice weekend I'll definitely set up a Saturday meet.
Would love to meet more local MB enthusiasts too.

Maybe next weekend, keep checking the boards.

Hey I saw your car there but never got a chance to meet you.
Our benz turn out was okay this time, but we were missing about 6 others who usually show up. Will definitely let you know if we meet up this weekend.
